How is you not getting there a heck of a lot earlier than you did so you didn't have to wait in line forever "fan unfriendly"?

Yeah and I'm sure the players enjoy sitting there signing stuff all day for nothing lol I'm sure they would much rather take the Johnny Manziel approach. These guys go out of their way to try to make the fans happy, and I'm not talking ab the players. I'm talking staff, everybody. Fans at Clemson always feel so entitled, it's weird. Just appreciate the fact that if you would have stuck it out you could have had the same opportunity as everybody else that waited

fans go on the field after games? Clemson is more fan friendly than any other major school I know about. Having said that I'm sure anybody that went today and did not get in has to be upset.

I came up with that from listening to ppl like you whine. Maybe it is the same at every fan base, I don't keep up with them. It seems that some Clemson fans think that Clemson is suppose to be held to this higher standard and always think of the fans first. And that the fans should have input on alot of inside issues like AD, coaches and all of that stuff. Just seems weird, instead of just rooting and supporting ppl like you give unwanted negative opinions. Just my opinion tho, complain on

So it isn't just ESPN and outsiders out to get Clemson, it's even the AD that out to get them. And not just the school, now the fans! Time for him to go after having a hidden meaning to #### off all fans at off all days FAN APPRECIATION DAY

the Athletic Department, plain and simple. Who's decisions? I don't know and it didn't affect me, but from what I've seen posted, it should DEFINITELY be studied and addressed. As to your earlier post about "entitled", without the fans, there is NOTHING. How the fans are treated on FAN APPRECIATION DAY should be paramount.

"thank you" to the fans, for the support (and the money, through iptay,tickets,etc.) that we give the school. accept the fact that they dropped the ball, and they will fix it. i haven't seen one post on here that says clemson was DELIBERATELY trying to ruin anybodies day. mistakes happen, they are just expounded at an event like this.

I understand the meaning of the day. And yeah ur right, I was kinda just being really sarcastic and pushing alot of buttons, my apologies. But to me it just seems like certain issues are ridiculous. Ppl complained for weeks about how easy it is to get in the stadium and to the rock after the vandalism, and maybe there was no security and everyone was allowed to be around the rock, but it seems more security was there and more regulation and no one liked it. Not only did they not like it they complained ab such things as standing too long. Easy solutions to stuff like that, either don't go or bring a chair. And I'm sure Clemson will fix anything that they feel was wrong. But I agree sgt. the fans are a huge part, I just don't understand why ppl complain so much

I would say fan unfriendly would be making kids wait in line two hours just to get inside the stadium. My kids just wanted to walk around the stadium and see the players. We don't really care about getting autographs. However, the only way to see the players is to stand in the autograph line. I would say that was being fan unfriendly.

Wouldn't it be great if we had a party and no one came???Most of those players on the field today are in Clemson because we care! When we get to the point where no one attends events such as this you will see recruiting nosedive. Another negative report by the real fans.

Waited two hours and couldn't get in. Met many great fans, but they are going to have to revamp the system to accommodate everyone, autograph seekers as well as others. It is a good problem to have, and I'm sure the staff will figure it out and improve things next year. It only makes sense that as more fans turn out each year, things will get more difficult to schedule.

THey had the running backs (merriweather, davis, and spiller) all at 1 table separate from the rest of the offense.
We waited in the running back specific line for about an hour. Right before we made it to the players, some jack wagon cut in front of every one saying "I waited in line all day (to get some other autograph) , why should i have to wait in a new line". We almost came to blows so i never went back.
